Midwifery Today, Issue 116, Winter 2015 just published an article on the Yale Obstetrics Chairman Dr. Hugh Taylor's BabySafe Project which recommends that pregnant woman reduce exposure to cell phones and wireless because of potential damage to the fetal brain.

"Dr. Hugh Taylor, chair of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Yale University School of Medicine, is one such voice for change. He says, “We have demonstrated clear cause and effect relationships in mice, and we already have studies showing that women who use cell phones have children with more behavioral problems. I think together that’s very powerful evidence…. There’s essentially no downside to being cautious and protecting your baby” (Taylor 2014)."
